+=head1 NAME
+
+OSSP::uuid - B<OSSP uuid> Perl Binding
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+B<OSSP uuid> is a ISO-C:1999 application programming interface (API)
+and corresponding command line interface (CLI) for the generation of
+DCE 1.1, ISO/IEC 11578:1996 and RFC 4122 compliant I<Universally Unique
+Identifier> (UUID). It supports DCE 1.1 variant UUIDs of version 1 (time
+and node based), version 3 (name based, MD5), version 4 (random number
+based) and version 5 (name based, SHA-1). Additional API bindings are
+provided for the languages ISO-C++:1998, Perl:5 and PHP:4/5. Optional
+backward compatibility exists for the ISO-C DCE-1.1 and Perl Data::UUID
+APIs.
+
+B<OSSP::uuid> is the Perl binding to the B<OSSP uuid> API.
+Three variants are provided:
+
+=head2 TIE-STYLE API
+
+The TIE-style API is a functionality-reduced wrapper around the OO-style
+API and intended for very high-level convenience programming:

+=item C<$uuid = [ $mode, ... ];>
+
+=item C<print "UUID=$uuid\n";>
+
+=item C<untie $uuid;>
+
+=back
+
+=head2 OO-STYLE API
+
+The OO-style API is a wrapper around the C-style API and intended for
+high-level regular programming.

+
+Additionally, the strings C<"v1">, C<"v3">, C<"v4">, C<"v5"> and C<"mc">
+can be used in C<$mode> and the strings C<"bin">, C<"str">, and C<"txt">
+can be used for C<$fmt>.
+
+=head2 C-STYLE API
+
+The C-style API is a direct mapping
+of the B<OSSP uuid> ISO-C API to Perl and is intended for low-level
+programming. See uuid(3) for a description of the functions and
+their expected arguments.

+
+Additionally, the following constants are exported for use in C<$rc>, C<$mode>, C<$fmt> and C<$ver>:
+
+C<UUID_VERSION>,
+C<UUID_LEN_BIN>,
+C<UUID_LEN_STR>,
+C<UUID_RC_OK>,
+C<UUID_RC_ARG>,
+C<UUID_RC_MEM>,
+C<UUID_RC_SYS>,
+C<UUID_RC_INT>,
+C<UUID_RC_IMP>,
+C<UUID_MAKE_V1>,
+C<UUID_MAKE_V3>,
+C<UUID_MAKE_V4>,
+C<UUID_MAKE_V5>,
+C<UUID_MAKE_MC>,
+C<UUID_FMT_BIN>,
+C<UUID_FMT_STR>,
+C<UUID_FMT_SIV>,
+C<UUID_FMT_TXT>.
+
+=head1 EXAMPLES
+
+The following two examples create the version 3 UUID
+C<02d9e6d5-9467-382e-8f9b-9300a64ac3cd>, both via the OO-style and the
+C-style API. Error handling is omitted here for easier reading, but has
+to be added for production-quality code.
+
+  #   TIE-style API (very high-level)
+  use OSSP::uuid;
+  tie my $uuid, 'OSSP::uuid::tie';
+  $uuid = [ "v1" ];
+  print "UUIDs: $uuid, $uuid, $uuid\n";
+  $uuid = [ "v3", "ns:URL", "http://www.ossp.org/" ];
+  print "UUIDs: $uuid, $uuid, $uuid\n";
+  untie $uuid;
+
+  #   OO-style API (high-level)
+  use OSSP::uuid;
+  my $uuid    = new OSSP::uuid;
+  my $uuid_ns = new OSSP::uuid;
+  $uuid_ns->load("ns:URL");
+  $uuid->make("v3", $uuid_ns, "http://www.ossp.org/");
+  undef $uuid_ns;
+  my $str = $uuid->export("str");
+  undef $uuid;
+  print "$str\n";
+
+  #   C-style API (low-level)
+  use OSSP::uuid qw(:all);
+  my $uuid;    uuid_create($uuid);
+  my $uuid_ns; uuid_create($uuid_ns);
+  uuid_load($uuid_ns, "ns:URL");
+  uuid_make($uuid, UUID_MAKE_V3, $uuid_ns, "http://www.ossp.org/");
+  uuid_destroy($uuid_ns);
+  my $str; uuid_export($uuid, UUID_FMT_STR, $str, undef);
+  uuid_destroy($uuid);
+  print "$str\n";
